Combine this with another feature: You MUST be part of a religion.  No 
ifs, ands, or buts.  This would provide religions with the kind of power 
they need, and it's historical.  You might only give lip service once a 
week, but you were a member of a religion.

Also, for excommunicating, if the majority of the peasants are of the 
religion, then excommunicating a lord, duke, or ruler should have 
disastrous  effects (such as the region revolting in an effort to get 
back to the religion).
